Hi,

I have an admit from GISMA Business School, Hannover, Germany. I am also expecting a call from Alberta Business School, Canada and SMU (Sobey School of Business), Canada.

Do you think I should be taking up this offer from GISMA?

Secondly with the current economic situation in the world, is it better to go to a school that offers a 11 month accelerated MBA course or a more relaxed 16 month course?

Thanks & Regards,
Sanjai.

Dear Sanjai,

The answers to your questions are "it depends". It depends on you and what your goals are post-MBA. You need to determine what you seek in a program and then measure these schools against that list. Likewise, you need to think about your personal situation and what you can afford in terms of an investment of your time. Finally, you should consider your post-MBA career goals and which school is the best avenue to achieve those goals.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thank you so much for the reply Lisa...

I am interested in pursuing a general MBA and looking for analyst sort of role in an Oil & Gas firm post MBA. That is to say...the short term goal. On a long term basis I see myself growing up the corporate ladder into a role of a strategic leadership.

I dont have any qualms about time in a b-school. I am keeping my options open for either an accelerated course or for a 2 year course. Was just a little concerned about the job scenario outside.

Now as i see it both GISMA and the b-schools in Canada (SMU and Alberta) have competitive programs tailor made to my needs.

I'd be grateful if you could advise me as to which course i should be looking out for considering the information above.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
